This new book by Diamond Industrial Tools' Harry G. Sachsel on "Precision Abrasive Grinding in the 21st Century" was specifically compiled and written for those involved with precision abrasive grinding and also those that use them. The future will require a tremendous increase of precision abrasive grinding applications and their systems as more hard alloy materials, crystalline, ceramic, and strange materials need to be manufactured as "normal" and present machining systems no longer can be used cost effectively. It's written in layman's language for all to learn and benefit.
